Abstract

The 1918 pandemic The availability of a reconstructed 1918 influenza pandemic virus means that it is now possible to study host reactions to the infection, and to use such information to inform public health measures and in the development of new antivirals. A study in mice shows that viruses containing all eight genes from the pandemic strain provoked much greater inflammatory and cell death responses than viruses containing subsets of the genes. This extreme response may be a factor in the severe immunopathology characteristic of the 1918 infection.
